GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

A die roll of 6 or less means you lose 3 Population; so the chance is 75%, or 50% with an SP.

That seems way too big of a risk to me. A coin flip for 25% of our population? No thanks.

I vote for XOing Adama to nuke the basestar in Sector 3.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I agree. Far too big of a risk, with far too many folks.

Alas, I misspoke. Card draw didn't give me an XO. I'm thinking I might head to Weaps. Gotta look at board. Will post more soon.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

A reminder: you're currently piloting a viper. Moving to another ship costs one card; if you do choose to move to Galactica (or Colonial One), please also post the card you choose to discard to move there.

(Further rules note: Apollo's weakness means that when he has to discard any cards, he does so randomly. This does not apply to the discard to move between ships, as this is regarded as voluntary and not forced.)

BSG Heck with that, not burning a card to get on Galactica.

MOVE: I fly to sector 5. ACTION: I play RED 3 and go to town on those heavy raiders. Last thing we want is a boarding party.

Apollo is taking four shots at the heavy raiders. Any of these shots may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play on SP interrupts. You can send me COs for the four shots if you wish.

We have 4 shots for 2 ships. I say save your cards.

BSG

Ooh, cocky, aren't we? To assist in your decision-making venture, here are the odds:

Apollo destroys both ships: 26%
Apollo destroys one ship: 42%
Apollo destroys no ships: 32%

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

If there's still a raider left after three shots, I'll play SP on the fourth one.

In other news, I'm asking around for a replacement Zarek. No takers as of yet.

BSG

That's long enough for interrupts. Apollo takes aim!

Attack 1: 3. Miss.
Attack 2: 1. Miss.
Attack 3: 5. Miss. Boomer plays an SP-3 on the final shot.
Attack 4: 7 + 2 = 9. Hit!

One heavy raider destroyed. Time for another crisis, and it is: a disturbing sense of deja vu.

Water Shortage - C
 President's Choice

Being President's choice, we'll need to pause now until we can get a replacement.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hmm.
